Rupert puts down Trish's mutiny and the snake pays the ultimate price

By Reality TV World staff, 10/24/2003

Going into this week's competitions on a three-challenge losing streak, Drake needed a win badly, and they got one... the only problem being that it was the Reward Challenge rather than the much more important Immunity Challenge. But hey, when "Scrawny Jon" is the third guy in your tribe, you know you're going to be be in trouble during any strongmen challenges -- a fact that even Drake recognized by opting to compete with Christa instead of Jon.

At least "Whiny Osten" gets points for stepping up to the platform (although not many -- after all, Christa lasted longer than the world's wimpiest survivor.) And in the end, Drake was once again no match for Morgan, losing their third straight Immunity Challenge and facing yet another Tribal Council. Somewhere in the ghost tribe's village of the damned, Burton cracks another smile.

As outsider observers, our only question is what made Trish and Jon so confident that a clearly uncomfortable Sandra had abruptly reversed her feelings on a Rupert booting and was suddenly on board with the idea. Then again, sometimes there's no explaining arrogance... or stupidity.

In Spoiler Island fantasy game action, clearly many of the top players also favored a "Shawn's going" scenario as our leaderboard has seen a significant shakeup for the second week in a row -- but one thing remains the same, "richthedevil" remains atop the board!
